Another user pointed out ,“It's not just Tim Hortons. The IT industry has been slowly doing this for decades. It's why software sucks so bad now. Games are being released completely loaded with bugs and unfinished content. Security issues all over the place. The industry is failing.”
Some other recounted recounted an American woman's experience in Germany and said,“My friend experienced this in Germany, an American lady working in IT. In her words, they took credit for others employees' achievements, bullied and pushed out all non-Indian employees one by one by creating lies, and hired their Indian mates instead. She was one of the last non-Indians to leave the job, so the future of the company turned out to be Indian”
Another user added,“Indians hiring only Indians is happening at the company I work for. It's a very large American company.”
One user commented saying,“I have personally seen this in software companies. If Indians cannot conform to Western standards they are not ready yo be given worker visas. Simple as."

Another user claimed ,“Exact same thing at Nokia. Indian managers only hiring other Indians. Completely blatant.”
“Thinking this hiring practice is only applicable to Tim Hortons is laughable. Call ANY government department, press 1 for English and see who you get on the other side! 99.99% have such thick Indian accents they're barely understandable. Visit any government public office and you'll notice that white people no longer work there. Walk into any bank excluding the ATB in Alberta and you'll notice that there are no longer white people working there,” another said.
